THE VIRGINIA FREE pRESS--rHE OLD FAMILY JOURNAL.

Four cars, two passengers and two sleep
ers, of the Montreal Express on the Central
Vermont r. r. were derailed at bridge at
White River near Woodstock, Vermont, on
Saturday morning between , and o'clock,
and plunged down fifty feet into the frozen
river. The ice was thick and did not break.
Some of the passengers were killed outright
and Others we're pinned to the wreck and
were consumed in the flames which quickly
destroyed the broken cars. Thirty-two per-
sons were killed or burned to death, and
many injured. The mercury was l20 below
zero.
The details of this accident are appalling.
From a number of scenes of horror portray
ed we give two as samples of the whole:
"Soon after the accident man was no.
ticed leaning on the edge of one Of the cars
and calling to his wife, saying, Mary, are
YOU there?' No answer came, and then he
would lean back and moan in his anguish:
Presently he was gone, and 1t IS supposed
that he had Jumped into the wreck and per-
ished with his wife.
One of the first passengers to escape from
the burning wreck was Joseph Magnet,
French Canadian boy living in Shaiwigan,
Canada He was with his father, David
Magnet, on their way from Holyoke to their
home. The boy sat three seats behind his
father, in the third car from the rear. lie
was doing in his seat when he felt the car
shiyer This motion was kept up for few
seconds. and then the car dashed over the
bridge upon the ice. BY hard work the boy
succeeded i'm getting out OF one OF the car
windows, which still held its shape Joseph
at once went in search OF his father, and
discovered him by the light of the burning
wreckage Just above him, pinned down by
q part of the top OF the car, which had fall
en- directly across his chest and legs. Inc
old man was firmly held as If IN wise:
Joseph rushed to his fathers assistance, ana
spoke words of encouragement to him.
The father was very cool, and told his son
to help him out as soon as possible. The
boy seized his father and struggled with all
his strength to extricate him, but IN VAN.
The flames were approaching rapidly
Joseph said the father, run and get an
axe or saw but the boy could not IND
either. Pull me out then said the father,
even if you have to break my legs to do
it, Jose h tugged away with all his might,
but could not stir his father an inch. With
wonderful GOODNESS the father gave himself
up to his fate It's ne use, my boy, be
said, There is no hope for me. Leave me
and gave yourself But remember the dy,,
ing words of your father, always be good
boy. Farewell, my son, | will meet you in
the other world" The flames were then so
close at hand that the boy could remain no
longer. He left his father and got out of
reach of the flames, and watched his parent
burn to death"

The South Branch IatelLigeacer, the home
paper of Senator Flournoy, Of Hampshire,
"a paper opposed to Senator Camden until
he became the nominee of the Democracy
by a three-fourths vote of all the Demo-
cratic members of the Legislature-says:
"When Senator Flournoy virtually charg-
ed in his speech on the floor of the State
Senate that three-fo urths of the newspapers
of the State were bought he did the editors
an injustice which he will repent of. There
were on the floors of the Legislature thirty
nine legislators who were in favor of Cam
den for Senator, not one of whom did he
charge with being bought They were
there to defend themselves, but the news
papers were not. We more deeply regret
our Senator's remarks in this respect than
his opposition to the caucus. Time might
wear the one; but our hopes for larger po-
litical sphere for our friend are blasted, be-
cause he has falsely charged the newspaper
fraternity with being bought, and he will
never be forgotten by "the boys"
